Looking For The Best Soup Recipes Out There

[Sweetfudge]

Don't know if anyone reads good housekeeping, but they've got this section (or you can find it on their website) about their "Amazing Soup Diet". I was going to try it, and they list several recipes, but I wanted to know if anyone had other recipes I could tweak to make low-cal/fat. The ones they have are minestrone, mexican chicken, greek fish, southwest chili, thai shrimp, goulash, and red bean and rice. One of my concerns is the recipes w/ beans. I love beans, but I think I may be intolerant to them. Or I just have a sensitive stomach when I eat them. Any good recipes w/out beans? Thanks!

Here's a turkey meatball soup I posted a while back. If you are concerned about the strong flavor of turkey, buy the groud whitemeat. It's very mild. Check the packages carefully though because alot of places sell the ground darkmeat. Since you are cooking for one or two, I recommend using only 1/2 the recipie of meatballs. It makes alot. And add only the amount of spinach you'll eat at that meal. Then next time you warm up the soup add fresh leaves again.

OK here it is. It comes together very quickly for an easy supper. I always use 2% milk.

Cheddar Chowder

2c. water

2c. diced potatoes

1/2c. diced carrots

1/2 c. diced celery

1/4 c. chopped onion

1 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

White sauce:

1/4 c. butter

1/4 c. flour

2 c. milk

2 c. chedder cheese, grated

1 c. cubed ham

Combine the first group of ingredients in a large saucepan. Boil 10-12 min. Meanwhile in a small saucepan, make a whitesauce by melting the butter. Add flour and stir 'till smooth. Slowly add milk; cook 'till thickened. Add grated cheese; stir'till melted. Add whitesauce and cubed ham to vegetables that have not been drained. Heat through.

Variation: Omit carrots, use 1/2 of the cheese or a milder white cheese, add corn, chopped red pepper a dash of cayenne, and a little more salt( because of less cheese)
